  • Page 3: Section 1: Our Recommendations

    Do I Need to Purchase Extra Glow Plugs? Yes. Even though your Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck comes with a glow plug already installed in the engine, glow plugs wear out, especially during the break-in period; therefore, it's a good idea to have a couple of spares handy.
  • Page 4: Section 2: Other Recommended Items

    Servo Reversing Switches: Allow you to quickly and easily change the direction the servos rotate by just flipping the switches on the top of the transmitter. Steering Wheel: Controls the Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck's steering. Turn the wheel to the right and the truck turns right. Turn the wheel to the left and the truck turns left.
  • Page 5 Both body mounts are adjustable to suit different bodies. Engine: The Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck includes the powerful XTM Racing 24.7 engine with pull-starter and tuned pipe for ease of use and great performance.
  • Page 6: Section 4: Preparing To Run Your Mammoth Rtr Nitro Monster Truck

    SECTION 4: PREPARING TO RUN YOUR MAMMOTH RTR NITRO MONSTER TRUCK Now that you are familiar with the major component parts of your Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck, and with the functions of the Hitec Lynx Sport transmitter, it's time to prepare your Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck for its first run.
  • Page 7 Push the battery holder into the battery box, along with the wire and plugs, then mount the receiver upside down on top of the battery holder, making sure it won't interfere with the on-off switch when the battery box cover is reinstalled. Reinstall the battery box cover, making sure that you don't pinch any wires.
  • Page 8 Remember to always turn on the transmitter first, then turn on the receiver. With the Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck on the ground (without the engine running) walk away from it about 150 feet. Move the steering wheel while looking at the vehicle's wheels. The wheels should pivot back and forth as you rotate the steering wheel back and forth.
  • Page 9: Section 5: Becoming Familiar With The Xtm Racing 24.7 Nitro Engine

    SECTION 5: BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH THE XTM RACING 24.7 NITRO ENGINE Your Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck comes equipped with the user-friendly and powerful XTM Racing 24.7 nitro engine. Before starting the engine for the first time, please read these next two sections very carefully.
  • Page 10: Section 6: Fueling And Starting The Xtm Racing 24.7 Nitro Engine

    Low Speed Needle Valve: The low speed needle valve is preset from the factory for the initial starting procedure. Do not make adjustments to it at this time. The low speed needle valve meters the air/fuel mixture at idle and during transition from idle to full throttle. Turn the low speed needle valve clockwise to lean the mixture.
  • Page 11: Section 7: Breaking In The Xtm Racing 24.7 Nitro Engine

    Remove your finger from the exhaust opening in the tuned pipe and close the throttle down to the idle position. While holding the truck with one hand, carefully pull on the pull-starter cord 3 times using short, quick pulls. IMPORTANT If you can't turn the engine over using the pull-starter, don't force it.
  • Page 12 Glow Plug Recommendation: The glow plug can make a big difference in how your engine performs. We recommend using a "hot" heat-range glow plug intended specifically for performance engines like the Thunderbolt # 3 (P/N 115559) or the McCoy MC-59 (P/N 690215) during the break-in process.
  • Page 13: Section 8: Installing The Body

    Chassis alignment and geometry are important if you want your Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck to perform well. A good performing truck means a truck that is easier to drive, too. Follow our guidelines in this section to get the most out of your Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck.
  • Page 14 If the area is bumpy and you use harder springs, the truck will have a tendency to jump and hop around. The shock springs included with the Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck are suitable for most general off-road applications, but experimentation with different shock springs may be necessary to find a setup that suits your particular driving style and location.
  • Page 15 Step 5: Adjusting the Brake Linkage The Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck uses a dual-disc brake system. The brake linkage is preset from the factory; however, after running the truck for awhile you may find that the brake linkage needs adjusting.
  • Page 16: Section 10: Maintaining Your Mammoth Rtr Nitro Monster Truck

    SECTION 10: MAINTAINING YOUR MAMMOTH RTR NITRO MONSTER TRUCK Following a simple maintenance schedule will ensure that your Mammoth RTR Nitro Monster Truck, engine and radio system operate in top condition every time you use them. It is strongly suggested.
